Modulo 10x10
Monterrey, Mexico
Modulo 10x10 is a social
project made to cover the necessity of housing for poor families in Mexico, also to
be used in emergency cases for catastrophic situations.
The intention of the project
is to develop a prototype of an alternative constructive system exploring
materials and low cost construction methods, based on the recycle of panels
made of Fiberglas that were used as frameworks in the constructions of other
buildings. These panels were transformed to a modular flexible system, in which
it is possible to create different configurations for the needs of the people.
The project is located in a high temperature zone in
the north of Mexico
and admits design techniques to give insulation and cooling in order to
optimize the comfort of the inside. The roof is ventilated with the pass of the
air thanks to a void located between the main wood structure, the Carrizo ceiling
and the final metallic cover, so the heat is not transmitted directly to the
interior. Also cross ventilation is generated by inferior and upper louvers to
create a natural torrent of air.
For the interior several materials
were used to recover the walls to be studied their insulations responses. The
foundations was made with used tyres filled with concrete, in these basements
was collocated the pilots that supports the construction, which is elevated
from the ground to create a torrent of air that cools the floor.
This project is part of a
study about construction and economy in this sort of solutions to try to give
some response to problems as poverty and lack of housing in Mexico, also
for the lack of prototypes for emergency housing feasible for use in conditions
of natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes, which occur continuously in
the country.
